Track 1:
[1:45] Podcasting to you from a humid Edmond, Oklahoma where regular yogurt is not near as good as Greek yogurt I am one of your hosts and my name is Tim Kilkenny And podcasting from Life, what do you know?

Track 2:
[2:02] It's a humid Piedmont, Oklahoma as well.

Track 1:
[2:05] I'm Andrew Hoffman Just wanted to let you know if you ever buy regular yogurt That is and you're used to eating Uh, Greek yogurt.
I mean, I don't even know how regular yogurt is still a product.
Can't hold a candle to Greek yogurt. It's the best Greek yogurt, some honey and some fruit.
I mean, that's, it's like a healthy dessert. That's, that's the way to go.
You get this regular yogurt. It's all runny. So yeah, I'm sick of the, uh, I'm not sick of it. I don't want to say it. I don't want to say I'm sick, but I am. I'm mildly sick of rain every day.

Track 2:
[2:36] The rain. Yeah.

Track 1:
[2:38] It's a lot of rain.

Track 2:
[2:38] Yeah. We were, we were supposed to get storms tonight, but then they pushed off till tomorrow. So we'll see.
We'll see if we're going to have some, some thunder for the podcast.

Track 1:
[2:49] Yeah. Oh dude. What was that?
Two, two, three nights ago. So I'm struggling over here.
I'll just tell the listeners up front. I didn't even tell you this.
We just had a little chat off of, off the air.
And I didn't even tell you the most kind of the hardest thing I'm struggling with my daughter. She is waking up every night about three 30 and just crying out out for no reason, calling me in a room.
I get there, she stops crying immediately. She asked me for, to tuck her in or to give her a bottle or it's like, she's fine.
She just wants someone to talk to, but was it two, three nights ago?
That thunder boom right overhead.
And as soon as it hit, I was like, please, no, please no. And then the crying started.
And so I knew the crying started. So I go up there and now, I mean, remember when this state stole the Seattle basketball team and brought it here.
They renamed it the thunder for those of you who don't live in the United States because they named it the thunder because there's a lot of thunder here and I'm used to it.

The Great Greek Yogurt Debate

[3:49] I grew up with it. It's the thing. But that night I sat in her room for what must have been an hour.

[3:57] With thunder constant, like I never heard anything like it. Like it wasn't big, big thunder claps that shake the windows or anything, but just constant rolling thunder.
And I, I fell asleep on her floor. I woke up with a really bad crick in my back, like, or my neck.
It was, uh, it's not awesome. And last night, she woke us up again and it's getting to the point where I've started to sleep through some of the wakeups cause I know it's not important.
But then what happens, Andrew?
Can you guess what happens at that point?

Track 2:
[4:27] I don't know. What happens? Does your wife tell you you need to be paying attention?

Track 1:
[4:33] Absolutely not. If my wife would have woke up, she would have handled it herself.
Nope, nope, nope. There is one more person in this household.
He comes down, touches me, or shakes my arm. Dad, I don't know if you're aware, but there's this...
Dude, she's doing it again. We got to do something.
So now I got two of them on my hands, and then one night I told her, I'm like, look, if you can't stop yelling out, because she's fine.
Diapers dry, bottles are good, bed is comfy, room is good, there's nothing wrong.
She's just crying because she wants someone to come visit her.
I said, hey, if you keep doing this, I'm going to close the door, and she just starts screaming at me, dad, don't leave, don't leave.
I'm like, hey, I'm going to close the door.
You need to go to sleep. So then I closed the door, and as soon as I closed the door, she starts screaming like crazy.
I don't want you to close the door. I don't want you to close, but I want her to just like stop and go to sleep so that the rest of us can all have some peace.
So at that moment, I'm like, okay, let's just, she'll cry for like a minute, maybe two, and then we'll all be able to go to sleep. So I'm headed down the stairs.
And guess what? Child number two starts crying. I go check with him.
Hey, what's going on? And he's like, I'm really sad for child number one because she's upset. And now I'm upset.

Track 2:
[5:48] Oh, he's a sweetheart.

Track 1:
[5:49] He is a sweet, he's a very, very sweet boy. So, I am, I am blessed in that, in that respect.
But anyway, I didn't even tell you that off air, but aside from all the other stuff I've been dealing with that we did speak about off air, I, uh, sleep deprived is I do pretty well with it.
I guess I'm speaking to somebody that's pretty sleep deprived though, so probably should Probably should notice notice that but I can do fine with five six hours like I'm totally fine with that Like that's awesome, but five six hours with like an interruption directly in the middle really struggle with that, especially as I get older I'm just like Just a little a little more edgy a little bit closer to the anger problem just a little just a little less filter just a little like yeah you don't even you wouldn't even notice it till something stressful happened and there's just like a little less filter so you guys out there pray for me and pray for my daughter if you get a chance appreciate it yeah that would I'm guessing it was the same night because our our storm radio which this is my you know we don't have a storm shelter but I didn't know you didn't have a storm shelter.
I didn't know you didn't have a storm shelter. I didn't, I didn't hear that every, every time there's a storm, I haven't heard about your storm shelter not existing.

Track 2:
[7:09] So, so there's a storm radio and it, I'm like, so is there actually a chance of tornadoes or are we just gonna have that thing going off because there's some thunder and lightning around?
Well, you know, it's pretty slim chance of tornadoes. I'm like, I really don't think we need the storm radio on for, for thunderstorms, but I know it's not supposed to be anything tonight.
And two in the morning, just full alarms going off. Outside. Oh, no, no.
This storm radio, it makes a very shrill alarm sound to get your attention.
And then it's like, oh, there could be quarter sized hail, which wouldn't be good. We've got a vehicle in the driveway. So then I go like rearrange to get both vehicles in the garage.
And yeah, it was, it might've been the same night. I don't know, but it was notable because like you were saying, there was thunder all around.
All around like yeah there's literally 360 degrees of lightning all around like yeah mainly cloud to cloud stuff but yeah I looked out the back and looked out the front, looked at the sides, lightning almost constant everywhere.

Track 1:
[8:36] Yeah, it's pretty crazy. It was wild, just rolling thunder and lightning. Kind of wild.
I do want to apologize up front to everybody out there. For last show, if you were able to listen to the full thing, I apologize.
And thank you for listening to the full thing. If you weren't, I also apologize.
A little bit of a tough audio deal on that.
I had messed up. I switched operating systems, went back to Linux for some other reasons, and just my browser settings were off and made a bit of a mess.
And I almost lost like, I don't know, out of the, it was like a little over a two hour show, somewhere in that range.
I almost lost like 90 minutes of it. So it was, it was bad.
And then when it finally was done, there was a lot of body noises for me.
And I apologize for that. I don't, I found it to be really hard to listen to.
So I I appreciate anybody who made it through. And if you didn't, I appreciate that.
And if Danny, if you don't want to give us 25 dollars for that last one, where you could hear me swallow and burp or whatever it is I was doing, gosh, that was hard to listen to.
But I totally understand. Like I was, I don't know if that was worth 25 bucks.
So I appreciate everybody who made it through.

Track 2:
[9:52] I don't know that our normal shows were worth 25 bucks, but yeah, I mean, give you like 750 or something there. Oh, man.
Hey, we did a show, though. What are we on now? 325? 325. Welcome to 325.
Half an hour in, and we might even talk about a story pretty soon. So, yeah.

Apologies for last show's audio issues

Track 1:
[10:20] Yeah. I've enjoyed it, man. It's been awesome. Thanks for 325 shows. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you.

Track 2:
[10:27] And, you know, anything that's not a unrecorded show is not, does not make the hall of shame category. So there we go.

Track 1:
[10:41] There you go. Hey, I was looking at some devices earlier today as I was kind of looking through all the different audio setups for podcasts.
And I did come across a couple that have, uh, uh, how do I put this like a native recorder?
Like you run the microphone through, you run the input through, and then it changes the audio a little bit, but it's not just, and it's just basically for these browser based, whether it's zoom or skype or you know we got clean feed these browser-based uh recorders you know sometimes they fail sometimes you lose internet connection sometimes that happens and it just has like a hard option to record which you know i might have to look into getting one of those one of these days so yeah yeah that sounds good so lots of stuff in the news i, i'm not saying we're the only ones but uh we did talk about sound of freedom i nailed that didn't i that was wild with with the uh weeks ago it's a big deal yeah it's it's a big deal i threw some stuff in here Our friend Tom Dunn, which...

Track 2:
[11:54] Uh, you know, now that unfortunately, Russ Dizdar is not around anymore.
Tom Dunn's kind of the go-to on this genre, um, on that issue.
I mean, that's what they do is deal with that stuff.

Track 1:
[12:09] Didn't we, did he come on our show recently or we went on?
He did. Yes. Okay. And then he was going to have us on his or something.
That was great. That was, that was a lot of fun, but yeah, Yeah, Tom.

Track 2:
[12:19] So he did a full episode talking about it. So people should check that out.
It's in the show notes with the guy, Greg Reed, talking about Sound of Freedom.
And he was very complimentary of the film.
Everybody from him to Dana White did a full on promotion of Sound of Freedom and is paying for any and all UFC employees to go see the movie if they want to do so and encouraging them to do so.

Track 1:
[12:54] So it's, that's- I will, if I can jump in real quick, I was at church this last week, was talking to one of the staff members at our church and he informed me there was a Facebook group and he was gonna send it to me. I'll have to get the link, I don't know.
Maybe somebody out there can search it. Sound of Freedom Facebook group, but he said that there were some people with a little bit of money who had seen it on the first or second, you know, first weekend, and they were paying all kinds of money forward so that people could go watch it for free. Yep.

Track 2:
[13:29] No, I got that.

Track 1:
[13:30] You already knew about this?

Track 2:
[13:31] I got that invitation on Twitter to sign up to go watch it for free, but I don't know my schedule, so it's, I was tempted, but I'm like,

Mentioning alternative audio setups for browser-based recorders

[13:44] oh, I don't know when I would actually be able to do that.
It has been about a decade since my wife and I last went to a movie, so it's...
End of the Hobbit series, maybe? Oh, which was a terrible choice, by the way.
One of the last movies we saw in the theater was a, uh, was far worse than that, my friend. Draft Day.
The Kevin Costner movie. Oh, man.

Track 1:
[14:21] Fair enough.

Track 2:
[14:22] Even in the niche genre of Kevin Costner's sports movies, probably the worst one.

Track 1:
[14:29] Yeah, yeah, I could see that.

Track 2:
[14:35] So, anyway, I'm a big fan of the actual NFL draft, but that movie, not great.
So, yeah, I guess that's enough to just stop seeing movies for a while, but this sounds like a good one.
I theoretically would like to go see it. I don't know if that will actually happen, but just all over the place, man.
I mean, that's the way algorithms work is you look at stuff and then it's, we'll show you more of that.
But it is very interesting, as others have pointed out, you know, Rolling Stone, CNN, just coming out hard, a little a little too hard against it.
It's like, are you just critiquing the filmmaking?

Track 1:
[15:25] I got, well, I got the, I got the clip. I got the CNN clip.

Track 2:
[15:29] Yeah, go for it.

Track 1:
[15:30] Oh, excuse me. It is a podcast and I should get the name of the podcast, my apologies. And they are talking about how poorly CNN has reviewed it.
It's kind of a right leaning podcast gal who is of course talking about the liberal media left and they got the clip of CNN there in the middle.
Ladies and gentlemen, the liberals are triggered again, this time over the box office success of the faith-based thriller The Sound of Freedom.
Not only is the film faith-based, not only does it shine a light on child trafficking and exploitation, but it also defeated Indiana Jones at the box office over the 4th of July, bringing in $14 million on opening day compared to Dial of Destiny's $11.7 million.
But as great as box office numbers are, this film isn't about the bucks, it's about the message and the mission.
The liberals, they really hate that and are reacting to the film the same way they do bans on gay sex books and children's libraries, which is gross but completely on brand.
But they can't come right out and say that, that they prefer to coddle and shield the the pedophiles and child exploiters, the same people who run Hollywood and, well, their ideological cult. So instead, they've gone this route, labeling the film a QAnon thriller.
Yes, these creeps really think they've managed to find a way to convince folks that child trafficking is simply a conspiracy theory.

[16:54] And The Sound of Freedom does focus on a real issue of sex trafficking.
But that theme, it's sort of like that kernel of truth that feeds the QAnon conspiracy theory.
In terms of child trafficking, we know trafficking is real. We know it has real victims. No one is denying that. But these films are created out of moral panics.
They're created out of bogus statistics.
They're created out of fear. And with something like Sound of Freedom, it specifically is looking at QAnon concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high-level elites and only people like Tim Ballard and only people like Jim Caviezel and by extension only people like the ticket buyer can help bring these trafficking rings down.
So there's a very participatory element. You're not just going to see a movie, you're just killing two hours on a hot day. You are helping bring down these pedophile rings and save children.
Now it's not true, but it's a very comforting and it's a very warm feeling to have.

[17:51] The Sound of Freedom is based on the work of Tim Ballard and his child rescue non-profit Operation Underground Railroad, which has been saving children from sex trafficking, a very real thing, since way before this whole QAnon thing ever came about.
Folks, these leftist hacks are attacking a film about child and sex trafficking and exploitation and urging you not to see it. Are you surprised?
This is right on brand. This is who they are. They are maligning this film and protecting pedophiles, groomers, and evil people the same way they've covered for Epstein and his client list. When people tell you who they are, believe them.
Yeah.

Track 2:
[18:35] She's angry.

Track 1:
[18:36] Yeah, it's like you said last week though, it's kind of sick how they've like

The Sound of Freedom and the QAnon Conspiracy Theory

[18:40] weaved this QAnon thing into the whole, like, you know, anytime you say there's child trafficking, you just weave the QAnon stuff into there.
And now that's what everything is. Oh, it must be child trafficking. Oh, it must be QAnon.
You must be a conspiracy theorist.

Track 2:
[18:57] Yes. And never any specifics, never any like, here's what's in the film that isn't actually happening in the real world. Right? None of that.
It's just like, oh, QAnon, I could just say QAnon and it just wrecks everything because everybody knows QAnon's bogus because our station told you QAnon was full of it.

Track 1:
[19:23] It's like, okay. QAnon's similar to Trump, so it's a Trump thing.
You're a QAnon Trump guy? Is that what you are? You're a Trump guy?

Track 2:
[19:30] Right.

Track 1:
[19:31] Yeah, that's why.

Track 2:
[19:32] This, this has happened.

Track 1:
[19:38] So that's how they did Pizzagate, too.

Track 2:
[19:43] Let's not forget there's never been a full refutation of Pizzagate, ever.
Right. It's just the straw man. Like, look, it doesn't have a basement.
Boom. Never mind the pictures, the advertising, the first-hand account. Never mind any of that.
Never mind the creepy pedo language in Hillary Clinton's emails.

[20:07] Just never just ignore all that and just look some some guy took a gun into like look how dangerous it is he shot a gun and almost injured himself like it was he didn't shoot anyone else but yeah yeah that's seed debunked yeah but i was thinking even before that to when they were uh, when they tried to write everything off as false memory syndrome oh you're talking about the 80s stuff yeah because there was i will never understand There's like satanic daycares and stuff.
I, I had a guy I knew up in Oregon. He'd moved up from San Francisco and not even a, not even a Christian. and he's just like.
He's like you could be anything in San Francisco except for a Christian.
Yeah, this was just his observation He's like people would take their kids and put them in a in this preschool run by known Satanist and that was the trendy thing to do like look how Cool, I am to like trust the Satanist with my small child.

Pizzagate Conspiracy and False Memory Syndrome

[21:26] And what do you know? Oh, the Satanist was abusing kids.

Track 1:
[21:29] Yeah, I was gonna say.

Track 2:
[21:30] But it all got covered up as like, oh, there can't be tunnels and rituals and yeah.

Track 1:
[21:37] That is the false memory syndrome origin right there. That's a nasty one too.
You'll read that story. Kids coming home with gonorrhea.

Track 2:
[21:47] Yeah, just, oh, they just imagined it.

Track 1:
[21:49] Yeah, just they imagined the whole thing, but they have STDs now.
Okay, that's seems legit.

Track 2:
[21:59] And that's, that was a different media age.
And it's, I don't know, it's good to see. This is the boycott version of the target of target and Bud Light boycott, right?
This is people it's not that people like I'm sure I'm sure it's a good movie.
Okay but let's just pretend it is let's pretend it is we don't know let's just i don't know haven't haven't seen it i'm sure it's good people i people i trust have said it's good i i believe it's good but this is also it's i don't know if i want to say it's a good form of virtue signaling but it's like all right we've had enough of the woke stuff this is a non-woke movie not only that it's It's actually on the side of good that everyone used to say, we were on, and we're just making this clear that we're on the side of the, um, you know, we're on the side of not abusing children and not sex trafficking.
So this is a bold stance. Okay.

Track 1:
[23:13] Bold stance. So not for it.

Track 2:
[23:15] So not for the, the whole thing. And if you listen to Tim Ballard, I've got a clip in there, Tim Ballard clip talking about the connection of woke ideology and this whole child sex trafficking deal.

Track 1:
[23:31] Child sex trafficking deal yeah you gotta be real, little, little, little quiet. Do you want to preface with anything else?

Track 2:
[23:43] No, I was just going to say that they, he, he draws a connection between the two.

Track 1:
[23:50] So my district, you gotta be really at okay to get arrested in Holland.
They were arrested in 2020, fugitives.
They ran and they were hiding. No one knew who they were. Well, this, this, they rear their ugly heads.
Um, this, the leader, this guy named Nilsson Matalin, He raises I mean, I'm literally in Poland at the time at our center staging operation for Ukraine and I get this information that this guy in Mexico is trying to be traffic kids out of Ukraine.

[24:17] And so I go undercover, the Dutch asset who gave me that information infiltrated me and I'm undercover talking to this guy.

[24:24] Well, in the end, we ended up in fact, just yesterday, two of the guys were convicted in Ecuador because it led us to Ecuador, a child sex hotel, these pedophiles From Holland and set up but I that's a we'll get into that another time.
Okay, but the point I'm making is I Had to study their literature.
This was a this was a political platform This is a political party and what I started recognizing is I I named them that I don't know I called the pedophile network doctrines Okay, like they include things like separate children from parents because parents are bad influence the state knows best sexualize kids let them see pornography

Connection between Woke Ideology and Child Sex Trafficking

[24:57] to three take God out of education because that's just gets in the way and and Kids consent consent consent children can consent to anything at 12 years old.
They should be able to vote They should do anything now. What am I saying here?
I'm I'm my stomach is getting sick as I'm reading this I read this every day.
It's the woke left agenda I'm not saying that they're colluding or talking it doesn't matter It's the same dark source and they are pedophiles are sitting back right now going.
We've been pushing this agenda for decades and now we don't have to push anymore because The left is taking care of for us in America in America and and in this whole trans voice on children, you know again I'm libertarian adults do what you want.
I'll fight for your right to do whatever you want.
Okay in terms of adult I'm talking about children and And what they're saying is children can consent to having their bodies filled with a chemical that will destroy the reproductive system.

[25:51] They can consent to ripping apart their genitalia. Like this is insanity.
Why not? In and of itself, it's horrible.
But what it's going to lead to is what the pedophiles have been asking for.
If you can consent to that, guess what?
What's more fluid than gender? Age.

Track 2:
[26:11] I thought those were some good points and kind of ties the whole transhumanism to trans to woke to satanic pedophiles and friends of Epstein servants of Satan all together.

Track 1:
[26:27] Yeah, it does. And that is that reminds me of the email in the document that that our mutual friend in the Houston area sent us where she had looked at a document from the UN that talks about lowering the age of consent for children.

[26:50] Absolutely sick, sick stuff. And it is true, right?
Like there's a part of me that's like, I can't be true. There's not, no, no, I think this is the goal. I think this is where we're headed.
And separating the kids from the parents, that line stuck out to me so much at the first there because even here I have run into friends of friends or acquaintances who are dealing with this sort of stuff, transgender sort of stuff.
Even here in the middle of the country, flyover country, you know, church on every corner, they're dealing with this stuff here too.
And it's, uh, it's sad and the separating the kids from the, the, I think, you know, no agenda has been covering it very, very well and, uh, big, big props to them and Adam, especially for kind of calling out that, Hey, this whole, they, them changing the pronouns thing, all this stuff is to turn the parent, the kids against the parents and that's, that's where we are right now. I think that that.

Transhumanism, Satanic Pedophiles, and the UN Document

[27:56] You know, Andrew, you and I are just a couple of old cis white guys who don't know what we're talking about. You know, we're just old fuddy-duddies and we just need to be shown that the future is, you know, trans or the few, you know, people can choose their gender.
It's our job to like fight for this. And they've convinced the youth that this really is a thing.

Track 2:
[28:13] Right? Yeah, there's, I've got a story in the folder there from my old stomping grounds, OHSU.
I spent about 10 days there when my youngest was born and in the NICU there.
And we used to, or sorry, it was, that was a different hospital, but that's where she would go for appointments, I was into OHSU and this headline from dailycolornewsfoundation.org, gender clinic doctors use genital surgery robot to crank out high volume of sex changes.
Surgeons at Oregon Health and Science University are using a robot to assist with vaginoplasties or the surgical construction of a vulva and vagina, according into various posts on the organization's website.

Track 1:
[29:13] I'm sorry, I laughed. It's just, it's such a dystopic title.
It just hit me pretty hard, sorry.

Track 2:
[29:19] And then, yeah, you can hear the self-described queer surgeon who uses he, they pseudo pronouns, describes using a robot to castrate puberty-suppressed adolescent boys and transform their mutilated tissue into supposedly a female organ.
So, uh, yeah, if you've ever, I've, there's no way I could actually watch a, a video, but just the description of the process bad enough.
Yeah. That's like, it's like, Oh, really these, these kids, these kids have it all figured out there's, there's not going to be any regrets going on a few years now because you might want to check with people who've had this done even as adults. Lots of regrets.

Track 1:
[30:17] I've told you before, and I wish that when anybody had these sort of conversations, they had to look at pictures first, you know?
Because once you see a few pictures, it becomes, you know, gender-affirming care is the same kind of buzzword as QAnon conspiracy theories.
It doesn't really mean anything, and it's based off, it's meant to get your emotions going or not going, but when you actually see the mutilated arm of a, of a, of a girl, who's going to, you know, have her arm skin turned into a penis or whatever.
And their arm is it's like the muscle will never grow back. It's just like stuck like that forever so that they could have some sort of weird.

Track 2:
[31:00] I mean, there's, well, this is the involvement of robots.
I mean, you've got so many of these, you've got to bring in the robots to make it more efficient. It's almost like they're just emphasizing the transhuman aspect of it.

Track 1:
[31:16] I was thinking to myself that with that title, I don't know of a title that would make you personally more angry than that. Oh good, if we could incorporate some more technology into this, I'd really be into it.
No, not into it?

Track 2:
[31:32] It's sick, man. And it's like, and then they, you know, they try asking him a couple of questions, Basically, like does this actually work?
It's like, well, there's not really anything to compare it to, so we're just gonna assume it works.
I mean, like, oh, yeah. Yeah, that's, so you end up as a castrated, it used to be horrific.
There was a strong debate over whether serial rapists should be castrated or not. Now we're just doing it to children.

Track 1:
[32:07] Well, I mean, and you touched on it in that, uh, when you read that article, it's like, you know, they're taking their, they won't be able to have babies again. I mean, that's the, that's yeah.
And that's common knowledge, right? I think, I think it's common knowledge now that the, that, uh, Bill Gates and co friends have ever seen servants of Satan think there's too many people.

Track 2:
[32:29] Yeah.

Track 1:
[32:31] And we're kind of just letting this all slide. We're just kind of sitting back and watching it all happen.

Track 2:
[32:38] Well, and like Driscoll was talking about last week, this is, it's a spiritual thing.
Like, this is, these are known deities that love the castration deal.
Yeah, absolutely. So, it's very, very spiritual in this whole thing.
And if you think it's all about, I don't know, what do people think it's about? Like, this is science?

Track 1:
[33:06] No, we're what and it's it's it's like that clip that he in the beginning of that clip. He also said Science would have us believe that things are getting better when in fact, it's actually getting much much worse, right?

Track 2:
[33:23] Yeah Yeah, we're where you can people confuse technological advancement because there's undeniable technological advancement, but the human condition and You know sin definitely not going in the better direction.
And this stuff is not new. Like it just instead of communicating with the gods, like they did thousands of years ago, now you're gonna merge with AI or it's a spiritual, an Eastern spirituality deal or whatever.

Track 1:
[34:00] You're communicating with your phone, with the algorithm, with the AI, with whatever's being kind of sold to you through your phone.
I mean, you're communicating with social contagion.

Track 2:
[34:12] Right. And it's, I mean, how sick is that?
Where it's like social media and this can talk someone into like being transgender is the way to be more accepted.
I mean, it's so crazy. It's like, you know, I mean, gender affirming care.
Uh, what that should mean is like, Oh, well, you're a girl.
Let me affirm that you're a boy. Well, let me affirm that. Let me reassure you.
I was there when you were born. I've seen God made you the birth certificate.
God did not make a mistake. He created, he creates people, male or female.
You are, you know?

[35:02] So, I saw, I'm assuming it was a real post, it was just social media, not, the sources were not cited properly.
Shout out James Corbett and his new, new thing there. But, uh, It just had someone complaining about 23andMe, you know, listing them as someone with an x and a y chromosome.
It's like, don't they, aren't they sensitive to trans? It's like, well, it's, you know, sign up for the genetic testing.
What are they going to tell you? It's like, you've got two x chromosomes when you don't? I don't, I don't get what the, a hundred years later and you'll find a thriving community.

Track 1:
[35:49] If you take a hundred men and 10 transgender women, you'll come back and find a hundred and 10 skeletons.
Yeah. So I, I understand the logic, but I don't know what the, the logic behind it is. I don't know what the logic is behind it, but I don't know what the logic is.

Track 2:
[36:11] I, I understand the logic, but, uh, given our current state of, um, being able to figure out our survival skills, forget reproduction, I'm not so sure you'd find a thriving community with the first scenario, but you might still find 110 skeletons, just different reasons there.

Track 1:
[36:36] Well, maybe there's 111. There's a chance. There's a, there's a chance. Andrew, come on.

Complaints about 23andMe's Gender Classification

Track 2:
[36:50] Well, as well, we're shouting out James Corbett. Uh, I enjoyed the internet is dead long live the internet.
I don't want to read the whole thing cause people should go read it for themselves, but I'll read a little bit.
Uh it's great artwork on there too james it says the internet is dead it's on a tombstone uh have you heard the latest canadians are losing their access great artwork brock i was james didn't do that well i don't know are you seeing it no i didn't see it is it good no it's not good that's That's why I'm thinking it might not be, I don't know that this got the Brock West treatment.
Like, hey, Brock, I need you.
Here's what I'm thinking. The titles, the internet is dead, and I'm thinking gravestones with freedom of speech, access to information, and the internet on them.
No, you're right. Can you stop working on our documentary and can you spend some time on this there?

Skepticism about a thriving community in a survival scenario

Track 1:
[38:00] I stand corrected. My apologies.

Track 2:
[38:05] So, James says, have you heard the latest? Canadians are losing their access to online news thanks to a new bill that would make tech companies liable for so much as linking to news stories.
French President Macron is mulling a social media shutdown in the name of quelling France's social unrest.
Meta's new Twitter killer Threads app is, surprise, surprise, censoring from day one, and the UK government is mulling a proposal to give their NSA equivalent, the GCHQ, unprecedented sweeping new powers to

The Death of the Internet

[38:36] monitor internet logs in real time.
Are you noticing a pattern? Yes, the internet, the information superhighway version of the internet that was sold as a digital panacea to the credulous public in the 1990s, that is now officially dead.
Does this mean and where do we go from here? Today I'll get to the bottom of the dead internet theory and what conspiracy realists should make of this news.
Alright, so people should go read the rest. He does mention mass media history, which if you haven't seen that set of documentaries, that's a must-watch there.
And then he's, I have not taken the online course, I have to admit, I'm sure that's excellent as well.
I've heard from actually several people on that, but yes.

[39:32] Anyway, so very good article from James. People should check that out.
It will be in the show notes, and they should subscribe to his sub stack.

Track 1:
[39:42] Absolutely, absolutely. James, good friend of the show and friend to all podcast listeners and even even friend to all podcasts really I mean I'm convinced even if you have a two-bit show and you look up to James, he'll come on your show.

Track 2:
[40:08] We're exhibit A.

Track 1:
[40:13] Now with less body shows than last week. Oh, man.

Track 2:
[40:15] Yeah. So no, he's very generous with his time, and it's not a calculated, like, let me increase my footprint deal because he would not be coming on shows like ours, if that was his, his agenda, but he, he does want you to cite your sources.
So people should check that out. The most recent one, I think that just came out today or yesterday, but, uh, goes through a few of his pet peeves of the current conspiracy internet space.

Track 1:
[40:58] So, uh, he might be calling me out on this. That's not how it's citing myself.

Track 2:
[41:03] I don't believe so.

Track 1:
[41:04] Here's a Twitter video that I saw somewhere. Somebody on 4chan said this.

Track 2:
[41:10] Well, have you been frequenting the conspiracy subreddit?

Track 1:
[41:15] Oh, James and I have had talks about this on air, I believe.
But yeah, the, the, uh, yeah, the conspiracy subreddit was, and we, and we agreed, like, we, I remember him being favorable of it too.
It was awesome, like for a very long time, but it got to a point where he gave up on it.
And I was like, well, there's still some stuff occasionally, uh, since that conversation, I also have completely given up on it.
So if that's where we're going, then yes, yes, I can understand the direction of this conversation.

Track 2:
[41:45] James speculates. Is there an unwritten but enforced rule that you're not allowed to post links to original sources and to provide evidence for your claims?
It's just, it's only screenshots now.

Track 1:
[42:00] Just once I read the article that, uh, made it extremely made the unlikely link, but there is an extremely high likelihood that, uh, using match Maxwell was one of the top Reddit, uh, users who guided the direction of several extremely popular subreddits.
That's when I realized Reddit was not a really a good place.

Track 2:
[42:25] Yeah. Yeah.

Track 1:
[42:27] So is, uh, I went on there recently and I had my, uh, I don't remember what it was.
It was some sort of option on my browser or whatever, and it's somehow it got turned off for safe search or whatever. Brave browser for safe search.
And that was just bread. It was just, it's just full of different, you know, links to different porn and different stuff.
It's like, what, what are you guys doing here? This is not, this is not, and it's where a lot of people go. I mean, a lot of people go.
I mean, they call themselves the front page of the internet. They got a lot of users.
I mean, look it up, daily active users. But anyway, I'll have to check that show out because it used to be a cool place.
And I was a big fan.

Track 2:
[43:10] But it's not so good, not so good, but, uh, no, I don't know where to go next.
I need to, I need to read it.
I need a quiz for Tim. Cause I have a, I have a clip to play after you give the right answer. So we'll make it an easy question.

Track 1:
[43:35] Hold on. Hold on. Before you get that, before we do that daily active users, 52 million, 430 million monthly users.

Track 2:
[43:46] Wait, what's that? 430 million monthly users.

Track 1:
[43:49] Daily active 52 million, 430 million monthly users.

Track 2:
[44:00] Like, I wonder if that's unique or it's counting, oh, 50 million a day, that's probably unique, huh?

Track 1:
[44:06] It's probably unique, I would say. Interesting. TikTok has 50 million daily users.
That seems low. 37, average. On average, US adults spend 33 minutes per day on TikTok.
Ranked only second to Facebook with 35 minutes.
73 million monthly active users. Wow. Thought it was bigger than that. Weird.

Track 2:
[44:38] So I work for a company that does online advertising.
And I have to say, You're kidding me. It's a lot of Facebook.
It's Facebook, Instagram, same thing, you know? And they sometimes like, I'll ask them like, oh, were you searching for like water filter stuff or water softener?
And they're like, no, we were just talking about it. And then the ad popped up.
So, I hear you.

Track 1:
[45:09] So, I have Graphene OS on my phone. We've talked about this off and on over the last couple of years.
And so, I am able to use a lot of apps. But I have no... So, the way it works is I have an Android phone with no Google account attached to it. I'm not signing any Google, so Google can't track me in any way.
And all the apps are sandboxed, so that no apps can talk to each other.

TikTok's User Statistics and Engagement

[45:32] Unless, for some reason, when you... So I've put Facebook on this thing a couple times and every single time I put Facebook or Instagram on here I don't know where the permission lies, but they Shoot is it actually I don't know it.
I don't think it's that so here's here's what happens Facebook is the worst and this is how they are the biggest app or this is how or the best the best Depending on how you're looking at it for advertisement.
Yes, exactly So I have Facebook on my phone or Instagram on my phone.
Okay, let's just say today Tim decides to install Instagram on his phone It'll be taken off his phone by tomorrow.
But today he has it on his phone yesterday Tim was on his browser and On his computer his laptop Linux computer using brave and he looked up Such and such product and was like, oh this looks interesting.
Maybe I should buy this I don't know if I will click close that tab go on to do something else, right? But on that browser, I forgot that three days before, I had signed into Facebook to check to see if I had any messages or notifications.
And then I closed the tab and did not sign out.

[46:43] It scrapes all your information out of your browser, all your cookies, all the places you were, and now boom, Tim, who has no other contact between this phone and that lookup.
And I know this because unlike most people who are like, is it recording me?
I don't understand how this information is getting there.
There's only one place that it can, only one way it could get there through the phone that I have set up because of the way I have it set up.
And that is that it, they log the information from my browser, even if I'm not on Facebook, and then keep that information and put it in my face on my phone whenever I am scrolling on it. So, it's wild, man. It's a wild deal.
And once you start, it's like whack-a-mole. Once you start kind of knocking down these different advertisers and the way they do stuff, there's always something else to learn. So yeah, it's been interesting.

Track 2:
[47:35] Well, and it's also, because a lot of times with apps, it at least supposedly gives you an option, like do you want to allow access to your phone to microphone and camera while using the app all the time or don't allow?
Right? Right. So if you're allowing it all the time, They're using it all the time.

Track 1:
[48:03] 100% with graph. I don't know how Android like stock Android is, which is I think what you're running. I don't know how. Yeah, Tim.

Track 2:
[48:11] Yeah. What did you just say?

Track 1:
[48:14] Stock Android?

Track 2:
[48:15] No, before that.
I don't know. All right. You got to play the Tracy beans. I says, Oh my gosh, they're short. Yes.

Track 1:
[48:30] You're a hundred percent. Correct. Did I say that?

Track 2:
[48:33] He said a hundred percent. Play the other one.

Track 1:
[48:35] It's hard to stop. One thousand percent. One hundred percent.
So I blame this on a coworker. I had a coworker back in 2015 and he started saying a hundred percent. then. I actually am like concerned.
Austin, if you're listening to this, I mean you, and he's definitely not listening.
He's very, very left-leaning, would never even tune into this.
Maybe if he knew I was doing it, he might tune in. But anyway, he was saying 100% way back then. Oh, 100%, bro. 100%. Oh, yeah.

Track 2:
[49:02] Yeah. I'd heard 100% a long time ago.

Track 1:
[49:07] It's everywhere.

Track 2:
[49:08] Maybe it's a Northwest thing and it just infected the rest of the country.

Track 1:
[49:11] It may have been a Northwest thing. That's an interesting thought.
Anyway, yeah, they're using, oh, I said 100%. They're using the other, if you allow them, then they will use it, 100% is what I said. That's true.
On Graphene, you can actually allow apps, like nope, you don't get connected to the internet. So you can have apps on your phone that are like, nope, no internet connection for you. And so you could just use the app without it phoning home anywhere. Kind of fun.
To further prove our point, Facebook global daily active users reached 2 billion in 2023.
The platform has gained around 77 million users compared to the first quarter of 2022.
Penetration rate of the United States was 71.43%.
Social networks audience reach is projected to be 75.79 by 2027.
Goodness gracious. It's wild.

Track 2:
[50:16] Yeah I've got an idea.

Track 1:
[50:18] Yeah.

Track 2:
[50:19] Let's take that and let's just get rid of the name and try to get everyone on to our new awesome thing called Meta.
How many active users does Meta have?

Track 1:
[50:31] Metaverse? So, Twitter has three...

Track 2:
[50:35] Well, no, it's Meta because remember they changed their name.
It's not Facebook anymore. It's Meta.

Track 1:
[50:42] No, but Meta is still the name. That's the parent company. This is a tax scheme.
This is like Google is Alphabet.
This is just a blanket name for their corporation. Twitter, 368 million daily active users.
63 million users in the United States.
All right, last one, YouTube. And then you can give me my quiz, sorry.

Track 2:
[51:19] No, those were the clips to play when you got the right answer on the quiz, so we don't have to do that anymore. You inadvertently gave me a better segue to it.

Track 1:
[51:29] As of July 13, YouTube has approximately 122 million daily active users.
Wah, wah, wah. Even they have a little, you have to have a short video thing.
So no matter what your app is, you you have to have a short video thing that's a TikTok clone. So Instagram, just pictures, nope. You gotta have a short video touch thing.
Facebook, regular posts, nope. Gotta have a video touch thing, touch through it.
And then now even YouTube has that, which makes almost no sense, but good for them.

Track 2:
[51:55] It's like.

Track 1:
[51:58] I'm here for a long video. Would you like to see this 15 second video this person

Introducing Meta as the new name for Facebook

[52:02] made the other day? I mean, I guess.
Do I have to? I feel like I have to.

Track 2:
[52:10] After, you know, I can remember the days when you were limited to 10 minutes on YouTube, right? Oh, yeah.

Track 1:
[52:16] Remember when there's the max length and we're really showing our age here now.
We're really showing our age.

Track 2:
[52:23] Wait, wait till we tell them. New World next week had to cram everything in three stories into 10 minutes and oh, we just made it.

Track 1:
[52:34] Wait till you tell them there was a five star rating on all YouTube videos and they didn't hide the dislike button. Much less they...

Track 2:
[52:44] Well that was pretty... the dislike button being not hidden was pretty short-lived.

Track 1:
[52:51] But I mean yes, no it wasn't. It went for a while. Went for a while. They just hid it.

Track 2:
[52:56] But it wasn't the original.

Track 1:
[52:57] Stars was gone no the original was five stars man you rate it how you want it this thing is a one star video i i'm not watching this i'm not i'm not hanging out for this yeah i didn't come i didn't I didn't come here for this.
Yeah, and it's It was a totally different Different deal like I saw 9-eleven true stuff without looking for it Yeah, that's and that's that's what happened to I mean think about that the Google algorithm Showed me it wasn't Google at the time actually remember it wasn't even Google Google bought YouTube right there well they're both yeah you go video and YouTube yeah but YouTube was its own thing right but that was like the original algorithm where you and I both and I think James Corbett too what a weird deal we were just blindly recommended like front on YouTube like hey check out this loose change video, I I was in, uh, our college's computer lab, cause that was a thing back then too.

Track 2:
[54:07] Not everybody had laptops. He went to the computer lab in the cafeteria and just randomly, uh, it's like no plane hit the Pentagon.
I'm like, that's weird. This is like 2000, maybe three. Oh, wow.
I was before that, because I was still in undergrad and I didn't, I had nowhere to put that information.
It's just like, I don't know, maybe it's a fake video, whatever.
But that, that was kind of, you know, and then years later when I actually looked into it and I was like, oh, that was like a 9-11 truth thing randomly being shown on school computer at, uh, you know, when I wasn't even looking for it.

Track 1:
[54:54] So, I have basically the same story. I mean, it was recommended to me.
And I remember this was in like 2005, I'm gonna say 2005.
Maybe 2006? I don't remember. I distinctly remember YouTube buying or Google being bought by YouTube, which was 2006. So I'm not sure. No, other way around.

Track 2:
[55:17] Google buying YouTube. Yeah.

Track 1:
[55:19] My apologies. But I remember seeing like, you know, our government, 9-11 was an inside job or check out this loose change video.
And I was just like, I mean, that's a little too far. They're going pretty, I'm not for the government, but that's too far.
Like they're clearly that's too far. They're going too far with that one.
And then I just like, I was like, oh yeah, that's what it is.
And then the next time I saw it, I was like, well, you know, there's still too far, but what are they talking about here?
This, this seems crazy. And this, well, like, how do, how does that, how do they mean this? And then I watched it and I was like, oh my goodness.

Recalling the era of watching YouTube videos in computer labs

Track 2:
[55:52] Yeah. Yeah. I'm I, loose change was not the first thing for me.
It was, I had already like read 9-11 books and stuff. And then someone's like, oh, you're into the 9-11 thing. You should watch loose change.
Like, and then sure enough, there, there it was. But yeah, I don't know how we got onto the, the old days, but James Court, Turn the podcast off.
James Corbett still does interviews with Ernie, Freedoms Phoenix Ernie, down in the Valley.
That's where I lived down there. And I remember seeing big signs, like on overpasses and stuff, like Google Ron Paul in the Fed, you know, 9-11, all this stuff.
And it was his group doing all that, all this Ron Paul stuff back in the day.

Track 1:
[56:52] So, yeah, I remember, I remember seeing info worse, uh, stickers pop up on stop signs near my house.

Track 2:
[57:02] Just really info wars.com.

Track 1:
[57:05] On a stop sign. I was like, what in the world is that? Info wars.
And then I, and then I, and then I searched it out and I realized they're turning the freaking fogs. Gay. Yeah.

Track 2:
[57:20] And shit turns out they really are. They really are. Yeah.

Track 1:
[57:25] You can RFK comes out with like, well, I mean, yeah, they are turning the freaking fogs gay and here's how they're doing it. Like, whoa.

Track 2:
[57:32] Oh, did they, did they ask him about that? Do you have a clip?

Track 1:
[57:35] He talked about the Rogan on the Rogan thing.

Track 2:
[57:38] Okay.
So, yeah, you can, um, ewg.org. If you look up your tap water, they'll list atrazine down there.
If it's been, been found in your area.

Track 1:
[57:55] So do you hear the most recent no agenda where they played the PFAS thing?
Yeah, they played the PFAS thing and they, uh, talked about the water.
I was like, well, I got to check with my resident water expert.

Track 2:
[58:08] That's sitting in my, you know, didn't make it into the show.
It's sitting in my, my advanced show prep method of texting articles to myself.

Track 1:
[58:21] Signal has a great note to self feature.

Track 2:
[58:24] Oh, I know. I used to use that. Yeah. Yeah.
No, no, I didn't even do that. But yeah, I saw the CBS report and I had the same which is what they ended up playing on no agenda I think because it was definitely a promo for whoever's like acting like they invented a way to get rid of PFAS they're not very clear on that like you could filter PFAS out of your water like a reverse osmosis will get it out of your drinking water okay they make it sound like oh they're forever chemicals because there's just no other way other than this new expensive way and they're kind of talking, you know, about doing municipal water systems, which is definitely a different scale.

Conspiracy theories and the impact of InfoWars

[59:11] Um, so it's cool. I hope it works and they, you know, I'd rather have government spending money on that than, uh, what they usually spend money on.
But, uh, yeah, the idea that you, Yeah, the idea that you can't get the PFAS out of your water is not accurate.

Track 1:
[59:34] So reverse osmosis will take basically anything out of your water.

Track 2:
[59:38] Yeah, it'll do that's the way fluorides like this one.
Well, I shouldn't say the smallest thing. So it'll get like 99.9% of fluoride out and higher levels of you know, that are hires, pretty much everything else.
It even gets the hard water minerals that are fully dissolved in the water, like out so it'll you bet you basically just have water which is is good but some of those minerals are actually kind of you need them so sure if you're just drinking reverse osmosis water you want to get some mineral and vitamin content in there somehow so I want to I want to hit you with this though you know the There should be some minerals in your water.

Track 1:
[1:00:31] Don't filter everything out. Sounds to me a heck of a lot like vitamin D's, fat soluble, you can overdose on it. Don't have too much.
Which seems highly unlikely and overblown.

Track 2:
[1:00:45] In what way are those two things alike?

Track 1:
[1:00:48] They're both highly unlikely and overblown.

Track 2:
[1:00:50] Okay. I don't get it, I'm sorry.

Track 1:
[1:00:59] No worries. I think the whole don't take everything out of your water because you want to have some minerals for taste is to get people to…it just seems like one of those things that was put in people's brains or that was said so that people didn't filter everything out of their water.
Like they told all the doctors, vitamin D is fat soluble, you can overdose on vitamin D, don't take too much vitamin D.
Every physician I've ever talked to about vitamin D will immediately knee-jerk reaction tell you, well, you know, you can take too much vitamin D.

Track 2:
[1:01:31] Oh, yeah, yeah.

Track 1:
[1:01:35] How much minerals are you getting? You just if you drink some Topo Chico water like I'm drinking now, it's got mineral minerals in it.
It's got Mexican minerals.

Track 2:
[1:01:45] So well, you best minerals. I'll say you definitely want overly filtered water versus not filtered water.

Track 1:
[1:01:56] Sure.

Track 2:
[1:01:57] You know, so I could see the arguments for, um, you know, wanting the minerals in there, but, uh, at the same time, you really don't want the PFAS and the glyphosate and all the rest of it.
And unfortunately there is some stuff, uh, those good old dioxins that are.

The Debate on Filtering Minerals in Drinking Water

[1:02:18] Even the reverse osmosis isn't getting those out, but really, yeah.

Track 1:
[1:02:23] Dioxin is not going to be removed by, yeah.

Track 2:
[1:02:26] When you're talking like parts per quadrillion being a problem.

Track 1:
[1:02:33] That's a problem.

Track 2:
[1:02:35] It's yeah, it's really on a scale. It's tough even to test for it.
So yeah, that's why it's, I don't know, maybe a good idea not to set a big fire to the materials that form dioxins and spread a giant toxic plume all over a large portion of the U.S.
And make sure it gets in the water supply and everything else.
It's just might not have been the best idea. So...

Track 1:
[1:03:10] Well, that's just like your opinion, man.

Track 2:
[1:03:16] It is. I'm, I will say I'm not the only one who's come to come to that opinion.
But, uh, yeah, it is dioxins are bad. Bold take.
Child sex trafficking is a bad thing. And dioxins also bad. There we go.

Track 1:
[1:03:34] Wow hot things next thing you're gonna tell me Lyme disease is not as bad as well and it's a bioweapon or something yeah yeah indeed what is the gentleman's name the senator who is always grilling the his last name is Kennedy senator Kennedy? Oh yeah.

Track 2:
[1:03:58] The Louisiana guy.

Track 1:
[1:04:00] Yeah. There he is. John Kennedy.

Track 2:
[1:04:03] John.

Track 1:
[1:04:04] I got a clip. It's just a little bit of music in the background.
I think it has been played on other podcasts.
Actually, I know it has, but this is John Kennedy talking to our climate czar about how much we're going to lower the global temperatures coming up.
Cause you know, I don't know if you know Andrew, but it's getting hot out there.

Track 2:
[1:04:21] It's hot. Therefore, have you seen the memes?

Track 1:
[1:04:24] My mom actually sent me one the other day she sends me this me this not mean but she sends me a picture like look and it's like a map but the whole map is red and has all these temperatures aren't like it's gonna be so hot tomorrow or it's gonna be so hot this next week I text her back I was like mom this is just this whole red map thing is propaganda and have you seen these memes where it's like Germany in 2017 and like all these temperatures and how warm it is and then it's like Germany weather in 2023 or 2022 and it's like all the maps like completely red and the temperatures aren't even as high as they are in the 2017 one.

Track 2:
[1:04:59] It's just different color, different scale.

Track 1:
[1:05:02] Colors to make you feel like there's global warming.

Track 2:
[1:05:06] Yeah, I saw something which, you know, this is, this'll come as a shock to people, but Phoenix, Arizona is a pretty hot place.

Track 1:
[1:05:15] You're kidding me.

Track 2:
[1:05:17] There's, they've got like forecast 18 straight days over 110 right now.

Track 1:
[1:05:22] Uh, yeah.

Track 2:
[1:05:26] But, uh, I was like that when I lived, I remember it was 119.

Track 1:
[1:05:32] Yeah 119 yeah 119 I remember playing golf when it was like 117 you played, golf in 117 yeah there's tryouts for the the team there good for you so it's

Climate Change Skepticism and John Kennedy's Questioning

[1:05:46] awesome I remember I remember being on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf and it being about 130 on the floor yeah on the flight deck so the ambient air temperature is probably in the 110 to 120 range but Yeah.
On the flight deck with all the jets, about one 30, it's pretty cool.

Track 2:
[1:06:02] Camelback.

Track 1:
[1:06:04] I've told the story before, but, uh, we're just going down memory lane tonight, so that's, what's happening.
Uh, the camelback was not invented yet, but it was like, it's weird how some of this stuff ends up in the military before it comes to, like, I'd never even heard of a camelback, but we were all issued camelbacks and it's like, you know, you put this thing on your back and this little hose comes underneath your arm and you can drink water.
So we'd, we'd go below decks, we'd go below decks and fill that sucker with ice.
And then by the time you get, by the time you walk out on deck, it's like melted.
Just like completely melted. It's like, well, I got, got some water now, so we'll have a drink anyway.
Global Warming, good ol' John Kennedy questioning the climate czar.

[1:06:46] If it costs 50 trillion dollars, as some of your colleagues have testified, to become carbon neutral by 2050, how much is that going to lower world temperatures?
So every country around the world needs to get its act together.
Our emissions are about 13% of global emissions right now. Yeah, but if you could answer my question, if we spend 50 trillion dollars to become carbon neutral in the United States of America by 2050, you're the Deputy Secretary of Energy, give me your estimate of how much that is going to reduce world temperatures?
So first of all, it's a net cost.
It's what benefits we're having from getting our act together and reducing all of those climate benefits.
Let me ask again, maybe I'm being, maybe I'm not being clear.
If we spent 50 trillion dollars to become carbon neutral by 2050 in the United States of America, how much is that going to reduce world temperatures?
This is a global problem. So we need to reduce our emissions and we need to do everything we can.
How much, if we do our part, is it going to reduce world temperatures?
So we're 13% of global emissions now? You don't know, do you?
So we're 13% of global emissions now?
If you know, why won't you tell me? If we went to zero, that would be 13% of global emissions. You don't know, do you? You just want us to spend $50 trillion, and you don't have the slightest idea whether it's going to reduce world temperatures.
You're the deputy secretary of the Department of Energy, and you're advocating we spend trillions of dollars to seek carbon neutrality, And you can't and this isn't your money and my money.

Track 2:
[1:08:11] It's taxpayer money and you can't tell me how much it's gonna lower world temperatures Nope he cannot it will make it Slightly less high Than it would have been right that'll be the argument and it's like well if we'd spent a hundred trillion and that would have, but, uh, you know, we previously, we all, we only delayed disaster fairly.
Hmm. Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:08:53] I feel like they're lying to us, Andrew.

Track 2:
[1:08:56] It's almost like they're lying to us. Seem.

Frustration over Lack of Answer on Temperature Reduction

Track 1:
[1:08:58] I mean, occasionally I'll get the thought, like, is it feels It was like, that could be, you know, it could be lying.

Track 2:
[1:09:05] I thought maybe you had the clip where they're talking about what percentage of the atmosphere is a carbon dioxide.
Oh, that's, good. No, I don't have that one. So that was a good one. Whatever it is.
They're all estimated like 5% and it's like 0.03 or something. Yeah. percent.
Oh, we didn't play... too late now. People have seen the...
I thought since you mentioned him actually the last couple weeks.
What's his name? Patrick David. He had a good promo for Sound of Freedom.
You don't have to play it if you...

Track 1:
[1:09:52] Let's play it. Look, whether you're a parent or you're somebody that has younger siblings or you got nephews, nieces, or you're just concerned about the direction America's going to, You have to go watch the movie, Sound of Freedom.
We were in the Bahamas and we couldn't find a movie in any theater and then finally we found a spot. We went to, we put the kids in the other room to watch Indiana Jones and then we sat there, ourselves and a few others.
And from the beginning of the movie, you're gonna feel the pain, the rage.
There's gonna be so many unique emotions you're gonna have with the opening scene of what happens to the brother and sister and the father.
And you're gonna say, that's real.
Then when you see the statistics, 22 million new child pornography pictures uploaded on the internet just in the last year, a 5,000% increase in the last five years.
And the whole concept about the fact that this is a $150 billion a year industry, like $150 billion a year industry, it says you sell cocaine one time, but you can sell a child five to 10 times a day for 10 years.
Look how profitable that is. And just last year, 2 million kids were taken for human trafficking, just this year, in the last 12 months.

[1:11:01] I applaud the guys who funded the movie. I know there was a crowd-sourcing way of getting the money.
Obviously, Jim Caviezel was the right guy for this, Tim Ballard being the story behind it.
Everybody has to go watch it. And the most interesting thing about it was who bashed the movie.
Just watch the critics on how they're bashing the movie.
Oh, this was just a cue, you know, right? Like, what?
What? What part of the message has to do with that? The stats are being given from the federal government and you're not defending people having to watch this to see what's going on to protect their kids? Very weird.

[1:11:40] Who recommends you go and watch this movie and who bashes the movie?
All I need to know is, if you bash watching this movie, it says a lot about you, and those who support you and are watching the movie, it also says a lot about you. All I'm saying to you is, go watch the movie.
Spend two hours. At the end, I'm not going to tell you what Jim says, but if you know, you know. Go watch the movie and see what Jim Caviezel says at the end of the movie. Don't walk out like many of us do.

[1:12:08] Stick around three minutes after the movie ends. He gives a three-minute message that you have to hear.
So anyways, part that I'm excited about, as weird as this sounds, is the fact that there are more people in the media industry that are financing movies like this, that are talking about movies like this, that are not afraid to produce things like this, and we're learning.
People are getting exposed. You've got to love what the media industry is capable of doing when it's held by right people funded by those who are concerned about it and that's why I'm confident because I think more and more people are waking up finding each other and saying this is a fight I'm willing to fight for it's worth fighting for so anyways long story short go watch the movie you are gonna be disturbed but it's a good kind of disturb that we all need to be only the paranoid survive take care everybody bye-bye man I don't know I don't know what it is I sure don't like all the Yeah,

Controversy Surrounding the Movie and Its Critics

[1:13:08] it's like crammed into his last few shows, but I like this man.

Track 2:
[1:13:11] Uh, very paranoid. Survive. Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:13:17] Well, it's kind of interesting because I remember a couple of weeks ago he had Alex Jones on and he was like, and Alex was like, if you're not skeptical in this day and age, you're dead in the Soviet, in the USSR, you weren't skeptical of what was being told to you. You were dead.
If you're not skeptical in this day and age in our country, you're an idiot.
That's like only the paranoid survive. I love it.

Track 2:
[1:13:39] I didn't get this into the show notes, but from the Babylon Bee.
Hollywood confused by new movie that depicts child sex trafficking as bad.

[1:13:54] Hollywood critics, actors, and producers are reportedly confused by Sound of Freedom, an action thriller produced by Angel Studios and starring Jim Caviezel because it depicts child sex trafficking as a bad thing.
According to sources among the nation's entertainment elite, Hollywood insiders had been excited to learn there was a film coming out about sex trafficking, but were then disappointed when they found out it's depicted as a negative thing in the film.
Critics have been giving the film poor reviews, citing the filmmakers' baffling decision to take a stance against the practice, with the New York Times slamming the movie for not having enough kink.
It's just confusing, said one director. You go through all this trouble to make a film about child sex trafficking and then you end up making the traffickers out to be the bad guys? Such a missed opportunity.
Yeah, I guess I just don't get it either, said Ezra Miller. They, them.
You're not supposed to kidnap people? Or it's like frowned upon?
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?
At publishing time, President Joe Biden had slammed the movie as a far-right extremist Domestic Terrorist Act and called upon Congress to pass common-sense Mormon film control.
Oh, this is pretty good.

Track 1:
[1:15:13] Yeah, I like it. That's good stuff.

Track 2:
[1:15:15] I had that one in the Tech Crunch article about how Starlink satellites are dodging objects in orbit thousands of times every month.
I'll take things that aren't really happening for a thousand, Alex.

Track 1:
[1:15:39] So, uh, what was I going to say here? Where, where are we in this whole situation?
Are we fighting back? Are we winning or did they just pull back like heavily or both?

Track 2:
[1:15:54] Good question. I I'm interested in, uh, the message that Jim, Jim Caviezel says at the end of the movie. movie.
Because I mean, movies, they do impact people. I mean, that's why the satanic Hollywood elite has been putting messages in movies for forever.
But at the same time, it's like, is this a conservative version of changing your icon on Twitter?

President Joe Biden labels the movie as a far-right extremist act

[1:16:28] Feeling like you did something like you went to go see Sound freedom and it's like what okay like Mel Gibson said the first step is awareness which that makes sense I don't know what people are supposed to do though like just right you know I mean other than other than see the movie what are what are we supposed to do right yeah and that's that's not a criticism of the movie it's just it's a genuine question like what can you and I do, to make a difference in this particular issue.

Track 1:
[1:17:13] I'm not sure, but I can tell you we've been talking about this issue for as long as this show existed.

Track 2:
[1:17:18] Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:17:20] This is one of those one of those issues that we really have been on top of for a very long time.

Track 2:
[1:17:27] Yeah, it's uh and it's been an issue for a long time and it's I mean it is good that it's It's getting out there now.
There is still the fake stuff. I saw the no agenda social post of like, did you know that all these people were working on this documentary called the silent children, right.
And then the all committed suicide. It's like those people, their suicides were like years apart and there's no evidence any of them were working on a silent children documentary.
Some of them weren't even actors. Like what is going on here?

Track 1:
[1:18:07] I didn't even see this post, but the Lincoln Park guy, Chris Cornell. Yes. Yes. Right?

Track 2:
[1:18:15] You, Anthony Bourdain.

Track 1:
[1:18:17] Anthony Bourdain. Yep. And Robin Williams.

Track 2:
[1:18:22] It was a Robin Williams, but yeah. Robin Williams wasn't in there?
No, I don't think he was in this one.

Track 1:
[1:18:27] Whether it's true or not, I'll tell you the conspiracy word for word.
These are all people that hung themselves by hanging themselves with a red rope and or ribbon from a doorknob while seated in front of it.
Now I've put that in your pipe and smoke it. Go search that one out.
I don't know if any of it's true, but that's the, that's the conspiracy.
And so w how do they all, I'll tell you this. So I'll, I'll break it down for you.

Track 2:
[1:19:00] I thought it was, no, I don't think some of them were, were pills or like an overdose deal.

Track 1:
[1:19:05] I don't think so. Lincoln park guy looks exactly like, uh, John Podesta.
Like exactly. Have you ever seen that?

Track 2:
[1:19:17] I don't, I'm not ready to say he looks exactly like him, but I have seen the comparison. Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:19:23] So, yeah. Chris Cornell is friends with Linkin Park guy. That's pretty much the only way he gets roped into this.
Anthony Bourdain, I do think- Just because they're both musicians?

Track 2:
[1:19:33] Well, they're kind of same era.
I could see them. Yeah. There's some documentation of them being friends.

Track 1:
[1:19:41] Uh, one of, I think it's her wife, the most recently deceased one would have been Chris Cornell's wife talked about how close they actually were.
So that's how that happens. Then, uh, Robin Williams, I don't know.
He just, it has the same ribbon doorknob theory. I don't even know if it's true.
And then Anthony Bourdain, I, yeah, I think he ran into something he didn't like. I mean, one of his last tweets is I'm currently being followed by somebody from the the Hillary camp.
You don't remember this or know about this?

Track 2:
[1:20:15] Uh, are you sure? Are you sure? Yeah. This is not a screenshot of a fake tweet.

Track 1:
[1:20:23] Uh, there's a lot of, I've read a lot about this. Uh, let's see.
And then, and then there was a lot of character assassination shortly after he died. Well, he was into some weird stuff. Doo-doo-doo-doo.
Anthony Bourdain, Hillary Camp tweet. Anyway, but there's the answer to your four people that were on the thing. I don't know if Rob Williams was on it, but...

Track 2:
[1:20:45] No, I think you were three out of four. Yeah, that's pretty good.

Track 1:
[1:20:51] I know my conspiracies. It's still a tweet. You can go to it. Are you ready?
I am currently on it. Anthony Bourdain's defunct Twitter.
I can still follow him. It's It's still here. It says, I am in no way an HRC fan.
I have been on the receiving end of her operatives' wraths and it ain't fun.
May 2nd, 2018. And then he dies. Two weeks later.

Track 2:
[1:21:19] Hmm.

Track 1:
[1:21:23] Yeah. So while they all may not have been working on the movie, Silent Children, you know, let's throw them all in there.
What was that actor that you really couldn't take the idea of the, the Ellen's girlfriend, which by the way, if anybody knows anything, it's Ellen. And if anybody found anything accidentally, it'd be Ellen's wife.
But, uh, yeah, that was the one.
And that's right. That was a bridge too far for you. You were like, no, no, no. She's not working on it because it always comes out after the fact.
And you called it with this one when I brought it up several weeks ago, Hey, this is before the fact. And you're like, okay, I'm into this and look at it turns out. okay.

Track 2:
[1:22:04] Yeah, it was legit. Even with Mel Gibson's involvement and it's crazy though that it took five years for them to actually get the thing out. Like this.

Track 1:
[1:22:18] Yeah, they've been working on this for five years.

Track 2:
[1:22:21] They had it done five years ago and Disney sat on it.
Gave him the run around about Oh, yeah, Yeah, wait, this current, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Track 1:
[1:22:32] Yeah, I was, I was trying to clip this, uh, YouTube or this, this tweet, so I can send it to you so that you have a source.
Sound of freedom was done by, but how has Disney involved? I'm sorry.

Track 2:
[1:22:46] Disney had the rights to it, used that ability to keep it from coming out for five years until now.
And I think some of what you're seeing is backlash because of the, you know, AMs, it's crazy how corrupt the whole movie industry theater system is.
It's like, they will shoot themselves in the foot to try and squash something that's not part of the agenda.

Track 1:
[1:23:26] Uh, also, also to, uh, make sure that their shareholders never get rich off of selling their shares, AMC with their famous hodl, and then, uh, kind of imploding the company and selling more shares and dividing the company up. Anyway, go ahead.
But what AMC didn't want to play it. I did see, I've seen some tweets.
Like people were like, Hey, we were called and told that this movie wasn't gonna be showing tonight. There's no air conditioning.

Track 2:
[1:23:53] Did you see that right now that there was shows up and the movie is still available, but there's no air conditioning in that right specific and then the air conditioning pops on right after the movies over and then yeah, there's lots of lots of that, which that could be not a AMC thing that could be just like someone who watches CNN thing sabotaging their local AMC theater.
I'm not thinking they've got the most critical thinking employees, just to stereotype who's working at AMC theatres these days but yeah that's...

Disney's Control and Corruption in the Movie Industry

[1:24:36] You know if someone tells them it's a bad QAnon thing then they probably feel like it's it's their right all right when you're sending me stuff in the middle of the show oh well i was i was trying to to your signal but you closed it down and we usually have a chat open but not anymore so anyway uh yeah there it is there's his tweet what is that in okay I don't know he's making some comment but it's a thing it is an actual thing so anyway he's bashing Cohen right okay interesting yeah that's weird then the the Linkin Park guy it's all based off of him looking a certain way but still which I don't know if there's anything to that or not but I'm not I mean Linkin Park was pretty good right but there's a lot of like you know if you're getting pushed by music labels there's a lot of the same corruption and insider stuff going on there too and so all the Mickey Mouse Club stuff all the little pop stars and a lot of them were abused in in horrible ways too so absolutely they were absolutely they were okay I was gonna say should we thank some people I.

[1:26:02] Don't have the spreadsheet open if you want to open it up is there even anything there I don't remember if I've updated it but we did get a donation here very recently.

Track 1:
[1:26:24] Should play some music for the folks at home.

Track 2:
[1:26:31] I don't believe it's been updated.

Track 1:
[1:26:34] Not at all. Well, that's great. Well, then we'll fly by the seat of our pants.
Why don't you tell the folks this time why we don't accept advertisements?

Track 2:
[1:26:47] I will do that. And I would recommend saving the recording because you're chopping in and and out and I think we might be about to lose you.

Track 1:
[1:26:58] Uh-oh, is this what happens when that happens?

Track 2:
[1:27:03] It's not good, so.
We do not accept advertising, chiefly because no one would advertise on our podcast.

Track 1:
[1:27:15] But also, we can- We have been offered, there's been offers.

Track 2:
[1:27:23] So the real reason is, um, you know, that would feel like, uh, it's a job.
And then it's like, okay, well, we should thank them for advertising by not saying anything bad about their product.
And then it's, well, I kind of, I don't like Lockheed Martin advertising on the advertising on the podcast.
I thought this was supposed to be anti-war and now they're giving us big bucks. Like, what do we do now?
And then all of a sudden it's a Ukraine flag instead of Revelations Radio News logo.
And we're talking about how, you know, most wars aren't great, but this one's really good. Like we got it.

No Advertisements Policy and Self-Censorship Concerns

[1:28:13] And advertising changes content and we have a hard enough time, you know, putting out interesting content as it is without self-censoring and advertising demands self-censorship.
So that is a big reason and yeah, we don't promise the highest level of professionalism.

Track 1:
[1:28:39] We don't promise we're the best podcast in the universe, but we do say we're going to be honest with you and we have been for the whole time and that's you know those of you who are listening right now appreciate that and that's why we don't do advertising amen I should ask you to do that more often because that was that was great so can you give me the last name on the spreadsheet please anonymous on 7-5 yeah $5 thanks for this great community okay so next up is our friend Caleb I'm gonna go on out on a limb here and say he's It's from Batavia, Ohio, and he donated $30 to the Give Sin Go, so, uh, there is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and show himself some good in his trouble.
This too I have seen that it is from the hand of Yahweh, for who can eat and who can have enjoyment without him.
So Caleb is taking it upon himself to make donations and make sure we get to the verse of the day. So I appreciate Caleb.

Track 2:
[1:29:47] I appreciate that. Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:29:49] His, his note. Uh, next up we have a gentleman named Danny from Medford, Oregon who donated $25. Shocking, shocking.
There you go. That's it.

Track 2:
[1:30:02] Although to be fair, he usually donates when he sees that there's a new episode.
So he might not have listened to the audio problems before donating.

Track 1:
[1:30:12] Yes, in which case I do apologize.
Very much so. We also have, let's go over to the PayPals. We have a couple of new donations on the PayPals.
Suzanne donated five dollars. This is a recurring donation of hers.
I don't have her place pulled up. I don't know that we know it, so I'm going to say Suzanne Parts Unknown.
And then Penny, this is a recurring donation as well on July 12th, and that's for $20. But where's Penny from, Andrew? Should be, if you want to check the spreadsheet, go back one month.

Track 2:
[1:30:43] I was still thinking about, I was still thinking about Suzanne.
I feel like we should know Suzanne.

Track 1:
[1:30:47] We, I feel like we do too, but I couldn't find her location on the spreadsheet.

Track 2:
[1:30:52] Oh, I guess it was parts unknown. It was parts unknown last week.

Track 1:
[1:30:57] I don't know if we had it at one point and then I lost it. but Suzanne, if you're listening, if you want us to put your place, go ahead and send an email.

Track 2:
[1:31:05] Penny is from Mesa, Arizona. Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:31:07] Mesa, Arizona. I thought, I kind of came up with that just at the last second.
Okay, and then moving right along. So this actually just came in yesterday or today, 23 hours ago.

Appreciating Donations and Verse of the Day

[1:31:22] And this is interesting, Andrew. This is on the Give Send Go.
And this is from NotTheIlluminati.
And NotTheIlluminati has given us $400. Oh, wow. And NotTheIlluminati.

Track 2:
[1:31:36] That's definitely NotTheIlluminati.

Track 1:
[1:31:43] And NotTheIlluminati said, haven't been listening to podcasts lately due to the passing of my father.
I started to listen again. If I could have a request, I would please pray for those who have lost someone that God can help them through the dark and empty hole.
It doesn't have to be on the podcast. And those who hear this may also pray for them.
Keep up the good work. P.S. Audio is pretty wonky on 324.
Yep, it was wonky. So yeah, you know, we, I don't know how he passed.
We recently got a challenge coin of a young child that passed.
I don't know. I don't really know how to do anything except to pray for it as, as requested.
I don't, I don't know what else to do because, because, uh, that's what they ask for.
And that's what we're going to do. So, uh, and not because of the donation amount more because this person had went through something and apparently weren't listening to podcasts and, you know, transition through something dark and is asking for help for others.

Track 2:
[1:33:01] Unfortunately I think many people out there will relate.

Track 1:
[1:33:07] Yeah, unfortunately I think you're right.
Dear Heavenly Father, Lord we just pray for this person who sent in this donation.
We thank you for the monetary value of the donation, but Lord we just ask that you bring peace upon this person.
Fill them, fill their heart with joy even as they hear this, as they listen to this podcast, fill their heart and just fill that that hole that's been left by their by their dad.

[1:33:40] And Lord, as Andrew said, there's probably many people who are experiencing something similar. We even had a listener a couple weeks ago who lost a child.
So Lord, we do want to pray for all of those people and Lord, we just don't understand.
The shortest verse in the Bible says that you wept when someone died and we as humans really struggle with this concept and just pray for comfort for all the people that are going through it and Pray that you would limit it as much as possible, especially for you know, the younger younger folks kids and whatnot as much as as much as you see fit Lord, we just pray that you would fill my heart, fill my heart with the Holy Spirit, and may all the people who hear my voice, from Andrew to the person who sent this in, to all the other people, Lord, just pray even in this moment that you would send the Holy Spirit out to them and fill up their cars and rooms that they're sitting in and headphones as they're doing the dishes or whatever they're doing, Lord, just pray that you would just bring a spirit of peace upon them, help them to love themselves, to love you and to not feel even if just for a brief moment they have a hole where a missing loved one used to be.
Pray all of that in Jesus name, amen. Amen.

[1:35:04] Well, it seems a bit strange to play a clip to end the donation segment, so I guess we'll just close out the donation segment.
Thank you everybody who donated and I'm sorry for anybody that's having to deal with losing a loved one.
Not something I've had to deal with lately, so I should, you know,

Prayer for those experiencing loss

[1:35:26] every now and then, not every now and then, I'm trying to more frequently discuss with my son things that that we're grateful for.
Because in this age as a kid, right, it's just all about what I want, want, want, what I need, need, need.
So trying to get them to stop and say, hey, what are we grateful for?
What's one of the things we do? When I had Tyler on the show way, way back with that episode that you were gone, he says, hey, I wake up every day and write down, you know, a couple, two, three things I'm thankful for.
I think it's important to do that. But one of the things I can be grateful for is I haven't had to deal with a lost loved one recently. And that's something that's good to remember that that will be coming soon.
I'm sure that I'm gonna have to deal with that here on this earth again, but I haven't had to lately and that's one thing to be grateful for, right?

Track 2:
[1:36:13] Yeah, yeah it is.

Track 1:
[1:36:17] For those of us who haven't had to and for those of us who had had to, we just, we pray that you guys would be strengthened through the whole situation.
I'm interested to see how this whole thing shakes out And interesting, I guess it's kind of a weird transition, but I did listen to, shortly after our last show, I listened to Chris's podcast.
So that was really good. It was really interesting.

Track 2:
[1:36:45] Yeah, very, you know, very transparent and vulnerable and well-researched, you know, it was a good one for sure.

Track 1:
[1:36:56] You raised primarily Baptist and kind of a once-save-always-save type of church?

Track 2:
[1:37:00] Yeah. Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:37:03] I was raised, at least from a young age till mid-teens or early teens even, in a Pentecostal church.
And it was completely the opposite of that, probably a little bit too far the opposite of that.

Track 2:
[1:37:16] Like, hey, like if you're not experiencing the Holy Spirit is not causing you to speak in tongues this Sunday, you're probably going to hell.

Track 1:
[1:37:26] Yes, yes, this is it. I mean, it's a, it's a, there's humor there, but there's truth there, right? So, it was like a lot of not necessarily, it was an overemphasis on speaking in tongues and the Holy Spirit.
But there was also like, like, I remember a lot of sermons on backsliding and a lot of talk of backsliding and even gossip about backsliding.
So, I was from kind of the opposite, you know, thought and then I kind of, you know, once I kind of became a Christian, probably mostly thanks to Chris White, so thanks Chris White, you know, kind of rededicated my life or turned it back to that direction in my 20s, late 20s there. Whoa.

[1:38:08] Anyway, I kind of wrestled that again. I was like, you know, the once save, always save.
And then I think the verse that always stuck out to me was nothing could remove you from God's hand once you're in His hand.
And it was like, you know, how does that all work? And then I look back at what I had experienced as a kid and I just I just kind of logged it in with like the...
The Calvinism versus Arminianism debate and was just like I don't know the answer to it and it doesn't bother me like I'm kind of the same way as that even with flat earth.
I'm kind of the same with that It's like I don't necessarily know the answer and it doesn't bother me I'm not I'm not diehard either way and I'd love to ask God someday like hey, man What was going on with this?
Like how did this work? What was the real the real way that went down?
I guess I just don't I I have a few things that I kind of put up on a shelf like I'm not sure how that works but I'm just gonna like it's not gonna affect my walk right like if I find out like you could fall away from Jesus like if I know that then I'll know like what do I know then I'll know that you know that I you know maybe I was never saved or maybe I was like I don't know I'm just gonna keep controlling what I can control.

Track 2:
[1:39:26] Well, and yeah, there's, if you, if you know God, then you have the supernatural ability to obey him and the supernatural desire to obey him, right? Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:39:42] Amen to that.

Track 2:
[1:39:43] Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:39:43] Yeah.

Track 2:
[1:39:44] Yeah. So it's, and I think there, there can be extremes of, um, not so much the Pentecostal, I'm thinking more like Catholic Church deal where it's like sure sure then it's like oh the priest is in the middle and you got to you know give money otherwise you're probably going to hell and even the idea of like if you die at the wrong moment yeah well last the whole last rites thing gets real real kind of strange there right oh did you repent before you know Did you get your last rights?

Track 1:
[1:40:19] Did you do the thing? I don't know. It just seems like an overemphasis on the wrong thing. Right.

Track 2:
[1:40:24] And if, you're...
What it comes down to for me is, you know, I, I don't really have to solve it for everyone else.
It's like, has God been more than gracious with me?
And have I gotten more chances than I deserve and more grace and forgiveness than I deserve?
Absolutely. Right. So it's, at some level, it's like, you know, you gotta trust that he's, you don't know everyone else's story, but you know your own interactions with God and that same thing's happening with everyone else.
So to be able to say like, I know the theological answer to the question, you know, you probably don't, but you know it for you, right?
And that's That's kind of where, where I come down on and then a hundred, a hundred, Oh, play the clip. Yes.

Track 1:
[1:41:32] You're a hundred percent correct.

Track 2:
[1:41:35] 1,000%.

Track 1:
[1:41:42] The, the way I've always been told, whether it's, uh, But it doesn't matter to the church, you know.

[1:41:49] It's gonna be you at the end just you and God and You're gonna You know, you're gonna stand up and talk to him about what happened what how'd this all go down and it's just me then There's no our I'm not gonna be able to click, you know All right Let me convince Andrew that this is how it was so that he knows because you know, it's a heart thing I think Paul talks about that in a book of Romans.
It's a heart thing It's a between you and God thing and each person has their own chance and there will be a moment where it'll be like hey, what's going on in this part and Lord willing or Lord, please let me be strong enough to have said I Did everything I could to try and I I know it was bad and I messed up a lot, but I did everything I Was trying to obey, you know, right?
I did everything I could to try I don't want to like get it lost in like a works thing or anything like that, but I did everything I could do obey.
I want to be able to turn back on that. And because it doesn't matter if, you know, you know, it doesn't matter. Like, let's say the earth is flat.
Turns out I was wrong. The earth is flat.
That's not going to like, that doesn't matter. Like it matters, but it does. It's not the, it's not the actual thing that matters the most. It's not.
Free destination, you know, Calvinism, Armenian ism. those things don't actually matter most. It's what the choice was made and how you lived your life, right?

Track 2:
[1:43:17] Yeah, I agree with that. It's just, it does become that much more difficult to deny that there's a creator when it's like,

Personal Accountability and Relationship with God

[1:43:26] oh, we live in the exact world described in Genesis 1 after I've been told something completely different entire life.

Track 1:
[1:43:39] So it's, uh, but yeah, it's not related, but I'm not going to get bonus points for having figured that out.

Track 2:
[1:43:48] Yeah, I'd agree with that. Just, I think one, um, you can be a Christian without being a flat earther.
It takes some real creativity to be a flat earther without accepting Christ because it's kind of like, oh, wait a second.
There's a God like right up there, kind of like every civilization thought.
Maybe I should look at maybe the same God who created everything down to the minutest detail I cannot, was also able to communicate with us and what does that communication look like?
And, uh, just a spoiler alert. It doesn't look like a mushroom trip. So, all right.

Track 1:
[1:44:43] I found a button on my screen and, uh, like a squirrel, I had to push it and see what it did.
Uh, I clicked the top donations and the gifts in go.
And so it just brings up the top donations that we've ever had in our Give, Send, Go.
Of course, Chrissy is at the top with her $2,000 donation that she gave us to help you with your car.
This of course does not count PO Box donations, so the Garden City Ranchers' generous donations are not here, as well as Gretchen's.
But I found this next part to be interesting, Andrew, just mainly because, just for you and me.
I don't know that you'll have noticed this. This is a shock to me.
The second highest donation was just now, which was $400 through Gives and Go from NotTheIlluminati.
The third highest donation from 226 days ago. Not the Illuminati.
$333.

[1:45:44] Thank you not the illuminati yeah that's very kind of wild huh i never would have thought that we had several 300 anonymous donations right around our three oh is our 300th episode not the illuminati on our 300th episode congratulations on 300 i want to let you guys know that i appreciate the work that you do i have buried a million dollars in non-sequential dollar bills for you guys that you will find at and then it cut off.

[1:46:14] I like not the illuminati i'm sorry that they're going through this thing yeah for sure and it's you know we would be the last podcast to say oh you should never stop listening to podcasts and and take some time away from all media.

Surprising Donations and Media Consumption

[1:46:33] Yeah, we are, absolutely.
I have a buddy now who, he needs a media fast, he needs to stop, he needs to put his phone down, he needs to realize that he does not need to be connected all the time and just stop.
And he won't do it, he needs to do it. He knows he needs to do it, he just won't do it.
We were talking about today, when we were speaking of that, we were actually talking about how hunters have that built in.
Like, what are you doing? Going up to the mountains gonna go hunting deer a couple of but like right when you think it when you think about that That's awesome.
Right like you're shutting your phone off phones out of service.
You're just hanging out in the woods with some dudes Hunting some deer.
I don't know that sort of stuff Not a lot of men getting together on a get on like a getaway anymore You know no more routing up the men to go for a hunter or whatever.
I Think we could use that Yeah, yeah.

Track 2:
[1:47:25] Or, you know, I mean, we talk, that's kind of what we do.
But for the most part, most male friendships, it's like you go do something, right? Whether it's golf or what have you.

Track 1:
[1:47:39] Yeah. And if you do talk, it's about something that nobody cares about, like sports.
I mean, they care about it, but it's not important. Yep. I should start a men's group. We can have Zoom meetings once a week. I actually think I know enough people that would be interested in that. I could probably put together a good men's group.
I might do that. Also, we should put together a Revelations Radio News group.
I'm going to do it. I'm going to make… Actually, I already did it.
I did it. I'm going to make… There'll be a link in the show notes.
Number one link in the show notes for this will be to our Telegram group.
And Andrew, you can join us too if you want.

Track 2:
[1:48:14] You know what's funny?
Uh, today I was like, I'm going to uninstall some stuff from my computer.
It was like the telegram desktop app. I'm like, when was the last time I looked at telegram?

Track 1:
[1:48:30] Like months ago, delete uninstalled, but I'm not going to get into an argument with anybody about big tech is watching us. The, the Russia uses telegram.
I hundred percent. Oh, I said it again. I can't stop saying it.

[1:48:45] I agree that a telegram is probably but like there comes a certain point where some sort of function to be able to communicate with everybody is better than nothing and I think a group chat situation through telegram will be it so the number one link in these show notes if I can remember hopefully I will will be an open link to join our telegram Andrew you can join too and unless we start getting some sort of crazy like trolls or spammers in there I'll just like leave that link as an open link until until that happens then I'll close it down but that's what I'll do and then I'll start working on my men's group I'm silently compiling a list of men well I'll tell you this if it is a zoom group the odds of me participating are approximately zero you can't meet in person you would have to meet via video and then there could be telegram in between if there is a in-person men's group the odds of me attending are higher than zero good to know good to know at least they're close enough that if I made a men's group you could attend it yeah possibly actually I was I was actually on Facebook today.

Track 2:
[1:50:08] Kind of strange.

Track 1:
[1:50:09] Goodness.

Track 2:
[1:50:11] And I saw a post.

Track 1:
[1:50:12] One of the 2 billion people.

Track 2:
[1:50:15] From, it was actually, anyway, so I saw a post on a friend from college's page and guess That's where he now lives.
Oklahoma? Edmond, Oklahoma.

Track 1:
[1:50:30] You're kidding me.

Track 2:
[1:50:31] Works at the, well I shouldn't say the Christian University there in Edmond because there's more than one probably but what's the abbreviation?
OCU? Oklahoma Christian? Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:50:45] OCU. It's a good school.

Track 2:
[1:50:46] It's not the only OCU within like a one-mile area but it is.

Track 1:
[1:50:52] There's UCO and then there's OCA and then OCS and yeah, we're super creative with our names around here. It's Oklahoma School or University.

Track 2:
[1:51:02] You're in Oklahoma, it has to have Oklahoma in the name somewhere.

Track 1:
[1:51:07] Oklahoma Christian School or University. Just rearrange all those numbers.
I go to OCA, I go to OCS, I go to UCO, I go to OCU. Anyway. All right, man. Well, it's midnight. You got to get up not incredibly early, but you do have to get up.

Track 2:
[1:51:23] No, not like last week. So, I'll be driving to Kansas, but not until late morning. So, yeah.

Track 1:
[1:51:31] And we had somebody ask us for prayer. So, please pray for those people who have lost somebody and especially for our donor, not the Illuminati.
Also, pray for Andrew. Pray for Andrew as he's out on the road.

Track 2:
[1:51:43] Yeah, I don't want to hit another armadillo.

Track 1:
[1:51:45] Don't want to hit an armadillo in his car. Don't want to encounter a drunken person that may or or may not be helpful to his career.
Just would like to not have those things happen.

Catching Up on a Friend's Life in Oklahoma

Track 2:
[1:51:56] You know, you drive, you drive, uh, whatever it is, 220 miles.
And then someone's like, Hey, can you hook up, uh, my sprinkler system to city water?
It's like, it's literally not what we do.
We do, uh, you know, water filtration systems.
Can I test your water? No, I don't care about it either.
All right, well, we will drive back to Oklahoma now.
So that's a, that's a bad day, but there's also good days. So it's an adventure.
You never know if this will be, you know, you just never know.

Track 1:
[1:52:40] You show up, you don't know if that dog is really behind a solid fence or if you're about to be running for your life you it's all up in the air so oh man shout out to Kyle from Kent Washington he texted me yesterday and I have to send this I have to forward this on to you Andrew he sent me a tic-tac-toe chemtrails in the skies over Washington man I felt like you I felt like you should win a prize for that.
I mean, that's like winning the lottery. You got the whole tic-tac sign.

Track 2:
[1:53:17] Tic-tac-toe sign. So he sent that to you yesterday, like a.
Was it from yesterday?

Track 1:
[1:53:26] I would assume. I don't know.

Track 2:
[1:53:29] Well, because our, our, uh, kind of casual theory is that, you know, Bill Gates keeps the chemtrails off when he's there, but he's not there.
He's over at, uh, he's in Idaho at the Sun Valley Davos conference or whatever.

Track 1:
[1:53:46] Are they, is Davos at Sun Valley this year?

Track 2:
[1:53:48] Or, or no, there's some, there's some hoity toity.

Track 1:
[1:53:53] Oh, man, I love, I love Sun Valley. It's, oh, that would have been cool to go to try and do some citizen journalism.
See how quickly I can, how quickly I can see how quickly I get arrested over there.
We have form former friends. That's not really the way to say that we have friends from that area from Seattle who had a condo out there. Oh, wow.

Track 2:
[1:54:19] Oh, wow. Yeah, it was awesome. You've stayed there. Oh, yeah.

Track 1:
[1:54:25] Nice. Yeah.

Track 2:
[1:54:27] Yeah, yeah, it's I've seen the sign as we're all my Idaho or Sun Valley, but I've never been there.

Track 1:
[1:54:33] Jeff Bezos, Bob Iger. There's a few people attending Jeff Bezos, Bob Iger, Sam Altman, the open AI chief.
I'll head it out there.
Yeah, it's, it's gorgeous out there.
Also good thing. There's no human trafficking taking place out there.

Track 2:
[1:54:57] Oh yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure. None of that. That's a QAnon theory.

Track 1:
[1:55:03] Warner brothers, David Zasloff, paramount global CEO, Bob Bakish.
This is all. Yeah. Coming up.

Track 2:
[1:55:11] Maybe I just saw an unrelated picture of Bill Gates that was thrown in with the story, but he's not actually there, but.

Track 1:
[1:55:18] Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and Satalia Nadala. Holy smokes. That is Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft. Netflix.

Track 2:
[1:55:30] Now was this the, or maybe that was Montana. Remember the Zuckerberg, like water skiing with fireworks?

Track 1:
[1:55:38] That's Idaho.

Track 2:
[1:55:38] Fourth of July from last year?

Track 1:
[1:55:40] It's Coeur d'Alene.

Track 2:
[1:55:41] Oh that was Coeur d'Alene, yeah.

Track 1:
[1:55:43] Yeah, they all have houses out here in Idaho. Idaho is awesome and I have a buddy from years and years ago, I haven't spoke to him in a while, but his family owned a bunch of property out on Priest Lake which is kind of the upper part of Idaho and he talked about how pretty much for years and years and years Idaho was full of just, well there were white supremacists so there's that, but there was just a lot of old-school people who lived out there who had you know owned some property and like to go out there and fish and haunt and let it remain pristine.
But they had people, they had like a situation where some rich people came to them and were buying up all the land around their lake and they ended up losing out on this deal.
They tried to petition to not have their land sold but the city decided to deed it to somebody.
And he had this heartbreaking story about losing his kind of childhood vacation home. And he said that there is just a ton of Hollywood types and people with a bunch of money moving into Idaho and buying up as much land as possible.

[1:56:53] Members of the press making the trek to Idaho are kept at a distance from the goings-on inside the Sun Valley Resort.
Event organizers frown on participants doing any media relations beyond waving at cameras and briefly chatting at the valet line.
CNBC has typically established a remote set of at a safe distance away, drawing a few guests, but they never spill what is going on inside.
I'll tell you, I have been a bit like a Bilderberg for the Western United States, but I have been all it's a lot of media, direct TV, AT&T.
I have been all over the world in many different places and settings.
I have never seen such casual wealth as I saw when I was in Sun Valley.
I mean, it was like, like, I don't know, just like, like, it was like, you would not be at all surprised to hear somebody like time I like, let's charter a plane or send the plane in, have them fly the blah, blah, blah in just at a Starbucks on the corner like that. It was that type of deal.

Track 2:
[1:58:00] I guess I should have thrown the article in. There's one up on citizens free press about that event where they're like, yeah, good luck getting just a cup of coffee.
You might have to order a soy latte and just say, hold the soy, hold the latte.
But yeah, it's, I think the median home price is like 1.1 million. Oh yeah.

Track 1:
[1:58:25] That doesn't even sound high enough. I looked at prices when we were there.
I was like, so what's it like to, oh my goodness.

Track 2:
[1:58:35] How do you find employees in places like that? Like service employees?

Track 1:
[1:58:39] So I'm gonna say this Sun Valley is mainly used sawtooth mountains picturesque sawtooth mountains is the way to put that I mean if you want to go shopping that are shopping that is the worst worst mess up ever if you want to go fishing I mean it's just amazing River through there that place has a ton of, people that are there seasonally. So I think the population balloons huge once the snow comes.
There's so much skiing. It's all about the resort. They do like summer mountain biking and stuff, but overall we found the place to be pretty empty during the summer, which is interesting that they're going there now because there probably isn't very much.
And prices, there's a nearby town Uh, so everybody just commutes into work, catch them. I think it is.

Track 2:
[1:59:37] Yeah. And home prices, home prices.

Track 1:
[1:59:41] I think it's catch them. One home prices in one of those nearby States, uh, or excuse me, one of those nearby towns are not insane.

Track 2:
[1:59:47] Yeah.

Track 1:
[1:59:50] So anyway, yeah, there's a, and it's, of course it's surrounded by like, this is a bunch of refuge land. How do you put that? Is it not refugee, but state refuge, whatever it's called?

Track 2:
[2:00:03] It's like a wildlife refuge or- Yeah, excuse me, wildlife refuge. State park.

Track 1:
[2:00:07] Yep. Warren Buffett, everybody's going to be there, whatever. Well, good for them.

Track 2:
[2:00:16] But anyway, that's why you're getting chem trailed in Seattle.
Jeff Bezos is out of town.
Go ahead and spray him in Washington. Amen. I don't know if we've gotten a lot of chemtrails here,

Sun Valley: A Picturesque Destination

[2:00:34] cause it's been, it's been like a seemingly natural cloud so much.
I don't know if they're chemtrailing a lot or not.

Track 1:
[2:00:45] We don't know, but we do know that we are on past midnight and it is time to call it a night.
To you for doing the show, Andrew, and hopefully we can come back again next week.

Track 2:
[2:01:00] Indeed, yeah. Should be good next week, the week after. We might have to talk about, but yeah, we'll see. We'll see.

Track 1:
[2:01:08] All right. Well, in the meantime, I'll put the Telegram link at the top of the show notes.
Click that. You can join our Telegram and give us your best memes just to to make Adam Curry mad. Adam Curry hates memes, so let's just do it.
No, I'm just kidding. But shoot in the telegram, say hi.
We'll see how it goes. Who knows? It might be the worst idea ever, but maybe it's not. Maybe we can all talk to each other and pray for each other and things like that. So hope you all have a great week and we'll talk to you next week.

Track 2:
[2:01:40] Is that right, buddy?
